I enjoyed a bit of this last night, neat in a Glencairn. It followed an EHT Small Batch and comparing the two was quite interesting. Since I didn't find anything new, here are my notes from my comparo between the Dickel BiB and JD Old No. 7 published on the Bourbon Sippers Slurred Speech blog - https://bourbonsippers.com/george-dickel-bottled-in-bond/ This whiskey pours a rich, rose-brass coloration. On the nose, I get caramelized sugar, oak, and barrel char. It’s got some interesting things going on. On the tongue, the proof of the Dickel is readily apparent. There is a nice bite and an engaging strength. The mouthfeel is creamy, almost oily. The oak barrel notes are forward without overpowering the flavor; no small thing for a whisky this old. I find it to be beautifully balanced. The flavor palate includes cherry cola, bananas, dark rum, cinnamon, and white pepper. There are notable banana and rum notes, reminiscent of a Bananas Foster dessert. The finish is nicely tapered sweet, and warming. I'm on my 4th bottle of this, so its safe to say I like it a lot. I'm happy I have a couple in the cupboard as this is getting somewhat hard to find. Thanks to Kenny's Liquors in Tampa for holding true to the price! What I'm not really happy about are the local liquor stores here in Tampa that thought jacking up the price from an already over MSRP $39.99 to $69,99 right after it was announced that this expression was 2019 Whiskey of the year., was a good idea. It's a bullshit move and I hope you'll join me in refraning from shopping at stores that pull these kinds of unnecessary pricing shenanigans.
